Padlet Sample!

5th Grade: In 5th grade PE, we are incorporating technology by learning the five physical fitness components, specifying by doing demonstrations for each element, and using iMovie to edit their short clips, defining each piece, and adding it to Padlet, as well as creating a QR code to present their projects. Please scan the QR code for an example of a 5th-grade student's work!
